I'm having (had) this problem since 1.5.17 and now 1.5.18. Shopping list does not pick up ingredients for planned recipes and acts funny (sometimes will only show one ingredient). If I have two recipes in the planned folder but only want to assemble 1, nothing shows. But if I assemble both the recipes it shows for the 2nd, not the first (i.e., I want to figure how much to order for a dunkle (purchase vs in stock) and also have a choc stout for later down the road, I have to add the choc stout to see the dunkel)... it then still doesn't show how much I need to purchase (in stock - assemble = remaining/purchase). I'm on a win 7 pro 64 bit. This sucks! I guess I need to check the old fashion way and look at my 1st grade math books for a refresher...

As mentioned previously, I'm driving blind unless I plug your DB into my installation. You can zip your entire library folder and send it if you want me to look at it.

I submitted a trouble ticket (and attached the Recipes folder zipped) as I do not have an email client installed on my computer (unless there is another way to send you an email?). Also, as I am still new to beertoolspro, when you say library I assume you are refering to the recipes folder? Thanks for your help,
Regards,

I viewed your support ticket. The "library" folder - probably named "BeerTools Pro" - contains the "Recipes" folder and the "Beertools Pro Library.rsd" file. I need the entire folder containing both items since they are interdependent.

I've received files from several of you and it may take some time to identify the problem. Thanks for your patience.

I fixed some issues I found in the shopping list window which will likely solve many of the behaviors you have observed. However, there is one problem that is only resolved by verifying that ingredients in the recipe are still related to ingredients in the my ingredients folder.

Version 1.5.19 adds the ingredient ID to the bottom of the info window when showing information for each ingredient. Any ID greater than 65535 references an inventory ingredient. IDs up to 65535 are found in the permanent ingredient DB. If the ID is missing it means that the ingredient is not found in the database at all. The "replace in recipe" feature can be used to re-associate ingredients with their source records in the DB.

This version also adds the "in stock" quantity to the info window which makes knowing inventory amounts easier. Clicking on ingredients in the recipe while the info window is visible reveals how much of the ingredient is in inventory.

Hopefully these changes eliminate most, if not all, wonkiness from the shopping list, and make resolving inconsistencies quick and easy.

The shopping list is now working right for me. Also, I didn’t need to re-associate ingredients (after checking ID’s), ingredients in recipes are from my ingredients folder (inventory)… not sure if that helps any. Thanks again,
